Members Arnold Schoenberg of the ensemble are enlisted Soldier-Musicians serving in The U.S. Army Band Born: 1874, Vienna, Austria “Pershing’s Own,” The U.S. Army Field Band, The U.S. Army Old Guard Fife and Died: 1951, Los Angeles, USA Drum Corps, The West Point Band, and The 10th Mountain Division Band. Composed: 1943 The Army Music Trumpet Ensemble has a dual mission to tell the Army story Duration: 10 minutes by performing for the American public and to educate the next generation about the opportunity to serve as a musician in the U.S. Army. Masterclasses The Theme and Variations was commissioned by Schoenberg's publisher, G. for university students cover a range of topics including audition preparation, Schirmer.

It is one of those a section.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS THE ABOUT compositions which one writes in order to enjoy one's own By sharing our diverse backgrounds and experiences, we hope to entertain, skill and to give a certain group of music lovers - in this case educate, and inspire all the sons and daughters of the United States. bands - something better to play. I can, however, assure that technically it is a masterwork. I believe it is also original and know it is also inspired. Not only can I not write 10 minutes without inspiration but I wrote this with really great pleasure. Although scored with large forces in mind, Schoenberg treats the players as soloists with plenty of interest and challenge in each line, the ideal way of dealing with the problems of wind band scoring. The march-like Theme begins with a nine bar statement, moving seamlessly through G minor and A to Bb, the dominant of Eb.; a two bar rhythmic phrase in F# interrupts, repeated in F, before an energetic eight bar phrase completes the tripartite structure. This twenty-one bar theme is subjected to a set of seven very strict variations and a Finale.
Variation 1 continues the mood of the theme with a little more energy. Variation 2 is a fleet scherzo, 42 bars long instead of 21, and this is followed by a lyrical poco adagio with a duet for solo clarinet and baritone horn. A Waltz follows as Variation 4, in G major, before a more extensive duet for the clarinet and baritone, this time in Eb major, that flattened submediant so beloved of Schubert. Variation 6 is an energetic fugato, building to a climax which disappears into the sinuous lines of Variation 7. The Finale refers to many of the melodic phrases from earlier variations including the fugato, before a final triumphant peroration.

About the Suite Française, Milhaud states: As a product of the Paris Conservatory (where she was also a professor), For a long time I have had the idea of writing a composition fit for high school she is part of a heritage that reaches back to Debussy and Ravel, and more purposes, and this was the result.

Ravel called Daphnis a “choreographic symphony in three parts." Suite No. 2 -Notes by David Wacyk (2019) represents the final third, comprising three movements which chronicle the reunion of the two young lovers after Chloé's kidnapping at the hands of pirates; their dramatic tribute to the god Pan, who was responsible for Chloé's rescue; and the Bacchanalian celebration that follows. The three movements of the 10 suite are played without interruption. 11 PROGRAM NOTES PROGRAM Orchestrationally, Ravel is at his very best in this suite, which has become the Suite from “L'Oiseau de feu” (1919) most-performed version of this music since the relatively lukewarm reception Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) to the full ballet.

The music swings of need. Presently Ivan meets the thirteen princesses under Katschei's spell; abruptly from mood to mood, now tenderly hesitant, then playfully flirtatious, they perform a gentle, poised round dance (the "Khorovode des princesses") then sweepingly grandiose – but throughout it retains a note of wistfulness, and Ivan falls in love with one of them. ultimately unfulfilled.
